  Speaker 1: Oh what it's going on? Welcome in here, Happy Tuesday
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to you. Hope all is well, Hope all is grand?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: My lord, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna do my best.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: If Coop tells me something, no, it's not meant for
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: on air, I have to respect that. I have to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: respect that. But man, he gave me a doozy of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a story. I want to share it with all of you,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and until Coop gives me the green light, I will
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: be respectful and not say what it is. But hey,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: as the evening, the wee hours, the early morning goes,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: they would go forward. Maybe Coop gets a little bit
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: looser and he's like, yeah, the hell with it. Tell
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the people and we'll have some fun with that. By
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the way, before I get to the two teams that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: cannot be trusted whatsoever going forward, it popped into my head,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this is for on air consumption, Lorena the lemonade. Did
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you just abandon that mission? Right? You went to the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: l They were like, not right now, give me a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: two minute thing. I just mopped up and you haven't
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: gone back, is that right?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I already went out there one time, and I
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: just you know, I don't want to brave the weather.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about getting an orange soda, but I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: already had a chocolate milkshake today and I just feel
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: like that's gonna be too much sugar.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I love how you eat. I can't believe you look
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the way you look. You know, like you're you're in
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: great shape, You're beautiful girl, and you eat like you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: have a bad diet. Right you would admit that, wouldn't you.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: She eats, She eats like three bites. That is a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: strong word.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I eat bad things, but like I only eat
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a little bit of the bad thing.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're more of a taster.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't taste it and then I eat
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the rest of it and get fat.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Then he gets that, but I try to do that anyways.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Like so, if I go out to dinner with someone,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I'll always offer, like, let's split everything. Let's split an appetizer,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: let's split a big entree. I don't need to eat
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it all. And then if we get dessert, I can
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: taste that too, and it's just a good.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Day, you know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: So what would happen? I have to ask this question.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what would happen if, Okay, you order something
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that's delicious but not nutritional, right, Like it's like a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: bad but delicious dessert or something. And so you bring
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it in to the overnight hours, you have your standard
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: two three bites, and you just leave it there for
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Coop to finish it. Coop doesn't touch it. What happens?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Are you tempted to then have your fourth or fifth
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: or sixth bite or or what happens at that point.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Depending on what it is. Y, I'll slowly eat it
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: over the night, or I'll break it up into little
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: pieces and just eat bits of it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more frustrated as I do that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And uh yeah, sometimes it does make it into.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: The trash, which also frustrates him.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Wow, I think you gotta you gotta pull an experiment here, Coop.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know, you just go cold turkey for a couple
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of weeks.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Now, this is This has happened multiple times, and those
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: are the three options. But I feel like she lifted
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: it in the wrong order. Okay, I feel like it
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: ends up in the trash and because she like it
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: just sits there and then it gets cold, and then
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: she she picks at it, like picks little pieces that
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: she wants, and now it just looks like it just
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: this gross, regurgitated mess sitting there. Yes, it does, yes,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: and and then then it just has to be thrown away.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: The other day or the other week, she bought an
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: entire meal box from Taco Bell that had it had
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: a cheesy bean in rice burrito, the Triple Decker crunch
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: rap nacho taco and uh, the cinnamon crispies, the cinnamon twisties.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she ate the cinnamon twisties.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Twisties. You don't go twists, you go twisty.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: She took maybe one or two bites of each other
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: item and then threw.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Away the entire box. I just love that you call
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: him twist I love that. I think that's great.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna call it twetie. Is that I waste my food?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but it's a whole a whole meal it was.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: It had to have been like three pounds of food. Listen, though,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Taco Bell does it on purpose.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: If you buy the crunch out by itself, it's seven
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: dollars if you get it in the box with We
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: had this.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: We had this argument that night. Yes, the box is
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: a great deal, but if you aren't going to eat it,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: what are you what's the point.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: What if you wanted to eat it?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't ask if you were hungry first. You're usually
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: always hungry. So if I get a box and you
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: go ooh, you want to touch it and you want
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to eat it, but got.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Sweat it down a different path right here is I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: don't didn't foresee this at all. What's going on here? Okay,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: all right, all right, you guys are you're like a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: married working couple. Is what's going on right here? That's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: basically I had.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I had homemade enchiladas from Roberto that night, so I
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: wasn't able to finish her wasted taco bell box.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Show Roberto and is inchs Man not waste.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Those Those were fire. Those were good.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, I've got a speaking of Roberto, I've
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: got a Dodger thought that he might hate or kind
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of agree with. I have no idea what would Roberto
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: would think of it. I'll give my quick cliff notes
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: version here of Otani and what's going on. Otani's trying
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to win a cy Young That's what he's doing. He's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: focused on winning the cy Young Award, and in the meantime,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: his offense is struggling like crazy. He's been on this
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: bad streak. His numbers are in the toilet for his
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: standards here, and so my take is, I think Otani's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: being selfish. The Dodgers need his offense, they need his bat.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Their offense collectively leaves a ton to be desired. They
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: have not been good at all offensively, and here Otani
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is like, well, I want to win the Cy Young Award,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and he's not focused on what he's bringing to the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: table offensively whatsoever. It's hurting the team. I think Otani's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: being selfish. He's chasing an individual award instead of trying
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to be a team guy and trying to do what
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers need most, which is they need his bat
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in the lineup for the season. His numbers are not
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: very good at all for a player of his caliber.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So I just don't get it. I don't get his
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: whole approach.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So glad we got rid of that guy.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, there's music to your ears. And look here,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking at his numbers. My gosh, the amount
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of numbers in baseball. It's insane. It's holy. We got
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the categories. I don't even know what they mean. We're
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: way over doing the categories here in baseball, my lord,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: all right, so just to give you a baseline idea,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So here's Otani. Let's look are all right, good? How
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: many categories do we have over here? Okay? His batting
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: average two forty one. He's hit six home runs, he
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: has sixteen RBIs. That's it. This is like Otani the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: last Okay, we'll give you the last two seasons as
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a Dodger. Fifty four home runs, one hundred and thirty RBIs.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: That was a career best. Fifty five home runs, career
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: best one hundred two RBIs. That was the second career
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: best right there, right, so is the second best season
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in terms of runs batted in. And in this season
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he's got six bombs and sixteen RBIs. His batting average
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is two forty one. His batting average the last couple
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of seasons, first year with the Dodgers three to ten,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: last season eight two eighty two, way better than two
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: forty one. I don't know what Otani is doing, but
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I think the pitching. I don't know if it's taking
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a toll on him and affecting his offense, but the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are basically like, hey, man, do what you want
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to do if you want to chase the cy Young
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: all right, I just I don't like the approach by Otani.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I think he's focused on himself more than he is
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the team. That's my thought. I don't know if Roberto
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: would agree with that or hate me for that. I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: really have no idea. I'm might have to text him
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and say, here are my thoughts on the Dodgers. Roberto,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: do you approve or disapprove? You know, I'm curious what
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you would say about that. As far as the two
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: teams that you cannot trust, they were both in action
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: on Monday night. That would be the Calves and the Pistons. Okay,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: so Cleveland won. They won the game that even the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: series at two games a piece. Series shifts to Game
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: five in Detroit. That would be on Wednesday night. And look,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell. We've talked about him at bits and pieces
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: on this show. Where he had a thirty nine point
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: second half, tied an NBA playoff record for the most
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: points in any half, tied Sleepy Floyd. It was kind
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of funny because Spider had a chance to surpass Sleepy Floyd.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: He made the first free throw to tie him, missed
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the second free throw, which would have given him the record.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But it's like, well, you have to settle for a
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: tie over here. But man, I just both these teams,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: they've all won home games. It's weird with Cleveland. Their
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: last series, the home team won every game. Cleveland won
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: four home games, the Raptors won three home games. And
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in this series, Detroit has won two home games. Cleveland
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: has won two home games. Neither team is to be trusted. Now,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: with Cleveland winning at home, you saw a much better
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: version of the Beard. James Harden was way way better
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: at home than he was on the road. He had
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the first two games against the Pistons more turnovers than
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: made field goals. Not good at all. But then at
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: home he came up huge down the stretch, scored seven
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: points in the final minute thirty in Game three. And
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: then on Monday night it was good again, had a
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: very good game. Beard played well. And it was funny
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: because Donovan Mitchell deferred to James Harden in the first
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: half because Harden had the hot hand. Donovan Mitchell did nothing.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: He had four points in the first half. That's it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: He didn't make a field goal. He was over and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: then Spider got hot. Donovan Mitchell erupted in the second
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: half and Harden took more of a back seat, so
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: they just complimented each other. But a very efficient twenty
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: four points by the Beard. Twenty four points on five
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of fourteen shooting, got to the free throw line, hit
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: five three pointers. It's a good game by James Harden.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: The Beard played well, eleven assists, two turnovers. Take that
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: every time. Donovan Mitchell just went crazy in the second half. Man.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: But you can see on Monday Night Game four, you
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: could see how the Pistons are just not to be
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: trusted what soever. Kate Cunningham, I swear he had twenty
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: seven turnovers. Somehow he only had five turnovers. It felt
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: like he had twenty seven. I swear it felt like
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that the team collectively was so sloppy. Eighteen team turnovers.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Just an ugly, ugly performance by the Pistons. You had
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Jalen Duran again on a milk carton. This guy is
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: an all star, He's a twenty to ten guy. He
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: had eight points and two rebounds. Jalen Duran had two
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: rebounds in the game. That can't happen. So you can't
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: trust these teams as far as you can throw them
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: right now. The Knicks are just kicking their feet up
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and waiting for whoever emerges in this Cavs Pistons series.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: But I can't trust either team at all. You can't
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: trust the Beard in the playoffs. You can't trust the Pistons.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: They were down twenty four points in Game six against ORL.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: That's a close out game, that's their season on the line,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and they came back and won the game that matters
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the most. But to be down twenty four points to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the Magic with your season on the line, how do
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you even get to that stage? And they got there.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm not a believer in either team. The
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Knicks are obviously the class of the Eastern Conference thus far.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We'll see if they peaked a little early. But the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Pistons and the Calves, man it's an uphill battle against
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. It's an uphill battle that survived this series.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: They're two pretty evenly matched teams. They have strengths, they
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: have some glaring weaknesses. And by the way, from a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: betting standpoint, the Tobias Harris streak of streaks for him
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: came to an end on Monday night, very sad I
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: was betting this. I had the betting advice on last
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: night's fill in Show, and I said, if if you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: want to ride the hot hand, it would be Tobias
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Harris over eighteen and a half points. The guy had
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: fourteen points at halftime. I bet this also, I bet
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: over seventeen and a half. It dropped a little bit,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and so I'm like, all right, I'll hop on and
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Tobias Harris had fourteen points in the first half. He
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: had no points in the third quarter. He made two
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: free throws in the fourth quarter. He had two good
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: looks at the end at a wide open three in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the corner that would have gotten us there. Clang, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: they had a driving layup attempt that was contested, almost
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: went in, just went rimming out, didn't get there. So
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: he had scored twenty points at least twenty points in
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: eight straight playoff games, which is crazy because he didn't
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: score back to back twenty point games all regular season long.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: That's insane to me that he just woke up like
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: this in the playoffs. But the twenty point streak came
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to an end for Tobias Harris continued for Ruey Hachimura.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Ruey was great he was over two plus threes. If
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you're on that prop. He hit four of eight three pointers.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: So for the playoffs, he shot thirty three of fifty
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: eight from three. That's insane. So Ruy did his thing.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Lakers came up short. But look, man, the Pistons are
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: not to be trusted. And look it's doom and gloom
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: for the Pistons right now. They lost the last two games.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: They were horrible on Monday night, So turnover fast. Like
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: all their starters in terms of their player props, all
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in the gray. Everything that is under is gray. They
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: are a lot of gray when you're grading the calves
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: over here was let's see the only players to go over.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Because I keep track of points, rebounds, assists, and three pointers.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you're not a gambler, you're not interested
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: in this, but I find it interesting whether you're gambling
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: or not. Kate Cunningham, he went over his pointer prop.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: He just had to hit two of them. It was
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: highly juiced to the over, so he didn't make you either.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Had to risk a bunch of money to win a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: little bit. But he got there. He made two three pointers.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Tobias Harris went over and rebounds over and assists, and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: he hit a couple of three pointers, so he went
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: over his three pointer.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Prop.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: That's it in terms of starters. Everybody else, Asar Thompson,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Gray across the board, Kate Cunningham under points, under rebounds,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: under assists, Jalen Duran terrible game, under points, under rebounds,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson was on a milk carton two under points,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: under rebounds, under assists, under threes. It was just as
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: an awful game for the Pistons. What really saved them
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: was Caris LeVert off the bench. He dropped twenty four points.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: He kept them afloat. But the starters were terrible for Detroit.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but if a team is
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: horrible on the road against the Calves, I just if
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: their starters just think out loud, how do you trust
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: them going forward? For you can't. You can't trust either team. Now,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Like I said, the series shifts back to Detroit on
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night, and if the trend holds true, the home
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: team will win again and then it'll be dooming gloom
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: for the Calves.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: All.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I can't trust the Calves man the Beard again, more
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: turnovers than madefield goals. Who knows what the story will be.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: But I just I can't trust either team going forward,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and I think the Knicks would beat either team. The
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: interesting matchup would be against the Pistons because the Pistons
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: had the Knicks number in the regular season. So we'll
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: we'll see who emerges. But it was an ugly performance
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: for Detroit on Monday. By the way, I did like
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: what Noah Eagle said. So the Calves they went on
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a twenty two to nothing run to begin the third quarter.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Twenty two to nothing run. It's the largest run in
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Calves postseason history. And Noah Eagle said at the time,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I thought it was cheesy. I didn't understand what he
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: was saying at first, and that it grew on me.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like a Taylor Swift song. You hear
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: at one time you're like, this is the worst thing
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I've ever heard in my life. Then you hear it
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: five or ten more times and you're like, Eh, that's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: kind of catchy. I can't I can't lie. It's a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: little bit catchy, right, Noah Eagle said, when the Calves
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: went on a twenty two to nothing run, he goes,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: it's a cavel lanch, and I'm like what an avil oh, oh,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the calves cavil lanch I get it. I hated it
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: at first, it grew on me, it grew I met
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: It's just maybe it's just me. I don't know. But
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: dreadful Game four by the Pistons. Too many turnovers, no
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Jalen Duran. I can't trust either team going forward. That's
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the bottom line here. Time will tell. Time will tell.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: If the Knicks. The only thing that could be sort
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: of a you know, a crack in the armor of
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the Knicks that ogn Andobi hamstring injury. He's been really
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: important to their success, so you know, if that's a thing,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it could hurt them going forward. But you know, they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: got it cranked up right now. They're looking good. So
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: they're just awaiting the winner and they're able to scout
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: them and get og some more rest hey. For over
• 18:06

  Speaker 3: No, I have to do it for Coop.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. I like that. Don't even fade
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: it out, just cut it off right away. I like that.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Very good. Let's go out to the militia here. Militia
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: wants to check in, very curious what they have on
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: their minds. I will get to a coach that sounds
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: more like a defense attorney of a client that's clearly guilty.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I will get to that momentarily. But the malitias check
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it in, So let's roll out the red carpet for them.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: James is in Tacoma with the non sports question. I'm
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: here for it. What's going on, James?
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I got two non sports questions. First one walking
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: into a media room or break room. What was the
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: worst smelling food you've ever encountered? I? Can you ever
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: see somebody cooking salmon seafood in the microwave?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Hm? You know what, I don't have a ton of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: experiences with that, James. Nothing, nothing that comes to mind.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: There was something that happened. I was in New York
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and somebody put something in the microwave and it was hideous.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I don't I think Lorena and Hoop would be better
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: suited to answer that. I'm sure at the Fox Sports
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: radio studios over there in LA, you've had a handful
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of stories. Anything that comes to mind that's horrible.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Coop just did it last week.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: He heated up in the microwave and egg breakfast burrito
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: from Taco Bell and I was like, listen, there's just
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: some things you can't bring in the studio.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not a bad smell for you, Coop.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Is there anything like that someone has eaten in the
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: studio that just made you nauseous? Like I said, your
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: egg burrito that you made the other day?
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Mmm, No, not really, not really?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: One other question for you?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Oh and Ramos used to eat hot dogs in here
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: that that always turned my nose off to.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Oh really okay? Interesting? What else do you have, James?
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: One other question? One more? Are you ready?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Okay? What inviting guests to your house? Do you want
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: shoes on or off? Because let me tell you, my
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: dirty shoes is a lot my steaky feet.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, listen, it depends, It depends on the layout
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of my place. If I've got carpet everywhere, maybe maybe
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I would ask you to take your shoes off. More
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: than likely I wouldn't. But there are some places I've
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: had to just have wood floors all over the place,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: like very limited rugs, so I wouldn't think of asking
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you to take your shoes off. So more times than
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: not I would say no. But if I, you know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: had my dream home and it's carpet wall to wall,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: yeah maybe maybe I would ask you, But more times
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: than not, most likely not. You guys will write a
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: coop where do you stand?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: See this is a very relevant question for me.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: For the vast majority of the time that I owned
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: a home, I was very adamantly not a take your
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: shoes off in my house person. I'm like, you know,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: I want you to be comfortable. Yeah, nobody likes having
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: to take their shoes off when they walk into somebody's house.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, just you know, come on in.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: And I recently replaced the large area rug in my
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: living room and it was the first rug was just
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: it was discolored, the like the little white sections of
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the rug were like gray, and it was just it
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: just looked terrible. And now we have a nice, fluffy,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: like vibrant rug, and my wife now wants it to
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: be a shoes off on the rug area, which does
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: present that problem because I'm also a person that just
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: thinks feet in general are disgusting.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I don't like feet and very anti feet.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: And so it was like the other day, my buddy
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: was gonna come over to watch the playoff game, and
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, you know, by the way, we're
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: one of those shoes off in the household, you know
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: type people now, And he's like, he's like, forget it. Then, no,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: He's like, oh, that's fine. I'm not wearing any socks though,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Oh no.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: And I'm like and my wife's like that's fine, and I'm.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: You're like, I married a hippie over here, kad, I
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: didn't know this about you. My gosh.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just sorry.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Are you telling me he was wearing full shoes with
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: no socks. Yeah, so he just had these sweaty, nasty
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, I just don't even come over. Wow,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: you want to put on a pair of my socks.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I have a pair of socks with some holes. And
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: you know, I got we got other things we can do.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Here, fluffy and vibrant rugging. Now we have what color
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: is this fluffy and vibrant rug that rug that you
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: have there coop at the coop household, it's some blues
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and whites, blues and whites. It sounds eclectic right now?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: What do you say, Lorena? Are you a shoes off
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: kind of girl when someone comes into your place?
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: So?
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a okay, so where I live right now,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: the carp that have been in there have been in
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: there since the seventies and they need to go.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: So that area, I really don't care.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: But I have a brand new purple fluffy rug that
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I put in like the rest of the room, Like
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: there's a walkway that has the old rug and then
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: the rest of it is my purple fluffy rug. And
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I do not let any shoes on them because I
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: want it to stay Christine like Christine and clean.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I want to be able to lay on that carpet.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Are you a vacuumer? You vacuum it a lot?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I'm well no, because it's a weird fluff. I'll send
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: you a picture of the fluff because I don't weird fluff. Yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: that's why. That's why I don't want shoes on it.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want anything on it because I just don't
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: want it to get ruined.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I sent you a picture of the of the new rug,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: and let.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Me check out the Oh look at this rug here
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: right now. Nice it is. We got a got a
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: little cat checking out the rug too, very comfortable.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: That's that's Piper.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Did I meet Piper? I don't think I did. No, Yeah, no,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't. Wow, Man, I feel bad I didn't meet
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the animals. Over here, I see to accentuate the rug,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a nice big pile of clothing on the couch right there, Coop,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I see that looks good. I like that. A couple
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: of pillows, and there's some clothes to be folded or
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: something going on right there. But and I see a weight.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I see one weight. Cat pumping iron right there? What's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: going on? See a weight on the carpet.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: We had just unrolled the carpet and we had just
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: ordered it, and so we.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Were ok, yeah, gotcha, Okay. I like this. Yeah, it's
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: got a little design. Little uh kind of looks like
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the cover of a three to eleven album or something
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: like that, right, And I could see that being the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: case maybe, but very yeah, nice looks good. I dig it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Let's go back out to the phones. Here, militia still
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: checking in. I love this from yesterday Travis in La.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: He threw three hard hitting questions our way and they
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: were doozies. Here he's got three more here. I'm all
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: for this, Travis. You're on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on?
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they're not as good as the ones yesterday. I'm
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: still thinking about your ret thing. My pet peeve is
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: when people come over and don't even wipe their feet
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: when they come in.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's unacceptable. Right, If you're going to keep your
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: shoes on, they got to be clean.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: You gotta meet me halfway at least, right, Yeah, that
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: has to yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So do you you want to question your choices?
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: They're about Florida, Indiana or Oregon? Which ones? What do
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: you want?
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: First?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Give me Indiana? That's where I hail from. So let's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: go with that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: So that that's the question why you're not a Pacers fan?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Man, it never did it for me. Always a
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Bulls fan. Actually, you know, Chicago is closer to my
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: hometown than Indianapolis is, So I don't know. Some people
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: are like, well, I mean you're in Indiana, you're a Hoosier.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It's like Chicago's closer. I can get to Chicago way
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: faster than I can get to Indianapolis. So okay, it
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: was always the Bulls for me. I hated the Pacers
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: growing up, hated.
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: Them for Oregon. Question is, if you had a did
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: you hear about the Chauncey Billups story this year? I'd
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: be curious what Coop thinks too, because I know he gambles.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, Travis. My biggest bet of the NBA season,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I had the Blazers season win total going over. I
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: had them over thirty four and a half and I
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: had an adjusted line over thirty eight and a half.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was. They ended up forty two and forty
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: so we cashed both. But as after the first game
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: of the year they lost and then Chauncey's getting arrested,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what just happened? Like did my bet just
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: go up in flames? But yeah, it's Thiago Splitter did
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a really good job. I tho I did a great
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: job with the team. He should have a great chance
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to be the head coach going forward. But I thought
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: my bet was in serious jeopardy and they got there
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: pretty easily, so it worked.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: Out, but it seems like they don't really want to
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: pay Thiago Splitter that. Well.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with that.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: All I know is he did a pretty good job
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: and he's a legit. Kennon it to be the head coach,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: you know, no longer the interim guy. So we'll see
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: what happens.
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: And the last one for Florida is if you're still
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: a Dolphins fan and I'll hang out, have a good one, all.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah you too, Travis. Yeah, always, I can't give
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: up on the Fins, no matter how bad they're going
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to be this season. I still have I still have
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a Miami Dolphins wallet. It's a running joke now because
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: there was a girl I dated a long time ago
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: in La Elsa, and she she bought me a Dolphin's wallet.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: This is years and years ago, and the running joke
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: was she wanted me to clearly not be she wanted
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: me to not catch any girl's attention right by having
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a Dolphin's wallet, you know. So that's that's how that
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: was just a running joke. Is that's why she really
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: got it for me. But I've just kept it not
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the one she got me. I got a newer one
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and now that's a completely older one. But yeah, I
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: still rock it out.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: It just feels feels right, feels like home. Feels like I'm,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: you know, selling out my Dolphin fandom if I get
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: rid of it. So yeah, always a Dolphins fan won't
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: change no matter how bad they are. You gotta stay true,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: absolutely have to stay true. Funny story, real fast is
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the worst year of football for me because I'm from
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: South Bend. I've loved Notre Dame football for my entire life.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: It was the seven season, so the Miami Dolphins were
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: one in fifteen. They barely won a game. It was
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a sweat. I didn't know that they were gonna win
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a game. It was like Greg Camarillo had a big
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: touchdown against the Ravens and they got to win at
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the very end of the season. We barely got there.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: And I wanted to avoid that desperately because all the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: years that the Dolphins are like only undefeated season, right like,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: they remind you every single year that would have been
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: completely offset by you had a losing season. So luckily
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: they avoided that. The same year my I were three
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and nine, arguably the worst season in Notre Dame football history.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: So combine my two teams were four and twenty four
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: was a disaster of a season, and the Patriots went undefeated.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: So I wanted the Dolphins to be the only team
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: with an unbeaten season, and they won every single game until,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: of course, the Giants beat them in Super Bowl forty two.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: That was as close to the Dolphins winning a Super
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Bowl was. An undefeated team just happened to be the Patriots,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: who I hated their guts at the time, because the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Dolphins had some good seasons and the Patriots wrecked a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: few of them. So for the Patriots to lose that
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl and to not have an undefeated season, that
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: was amazing.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I was jumping around my Fresno apartment when that happened.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: So there you go, good stuff, good memories. I like
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the questions from Travis, you know. I like how he's like,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: not as good as last night. Let's just get this
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: out of the light right now, not as good as
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: it was my best work last night, he cried last night.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Very good job, all right, eight seven seven ninety nine
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: on Fox. That is your number. I still have to
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: pay off the head coach that it sounds more like
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: a defense attorney representing a guilty client. I got some
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: ball on the way, an interesting little nugget. Outside of
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the schedule the games, a couple of games got released,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: but a signing that caught my attention. And also a
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: team that is finally waking up. It's about time. I
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: don't know what took them so long. They're stupid for
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: waiting this long, and I don't know that they're going
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to get as much value in return. All of that
• 32:42

  Speaker 1: Slash disclosures. By the way, it was funny. Loreno. At
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the last second, she was like, got another another band.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: You got a request, you know, bump back music, and
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna go completely off the off
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the grid. Here, give me some Rihanna and she was
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: trying to feverishly type Rihanna and uh it didn't work out.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: So it was just funny.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Bump back name was well at first I put r
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: h I, yeah, A N N A, and then I
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: was like, oh wait no, it's only one N.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh wait no, my h
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: and my I are mixed up.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: And that was a disaster. It was all sorts of
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: bad right there. It's like your lemonade run, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: when the guy was like just two minutes, You're like,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I don't have that kind of time. That was you
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: trying to get bounced back as exactly. Yes, that's right. Yeah. See.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: By the way, I did a whole I don't know
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: what happened, but I somehow stumbled onto the the like
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the backstory of the song you did play instead, mister Brightside,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: so like you can tell by the lyrics, but I
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: didn't realize the whole story. Apparently this guy, the singer,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: he was living in Vegas and he was like a
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: valet guy, right part cars do that. That was his gig,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and he was dating this girl and he came back
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: and he spotted his girl cheating on him. I don't
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: remember if it was like, I don't know they lived together,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: or he spotted her out and about while he was
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: doing his valet gig. I don't remember the specifics of that.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: But he he found that his girl was cheating on him,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and he's distraught. You know, he's broken, is the whole thing.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: But that's how he wrote a song about that. That's
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: what mister Brightside is about. It's about his girl.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Eat on How fun? And I actually I love that
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: music video.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen the video.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: In the music video, the girl is a dancer, like
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: a like a burlesque type dancer.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Oh really like the Empire strips back, Yeah.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: But also kind of a strippery to where you know,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: you still go and interact with the people out in
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: the audience. So she's with this big baller guy who's
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: spending lots of money. She's kissing on him instead of
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: you know, the singer. It's good, it's a good music video.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: You should watch it.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I will go watch. Yeah. I wonder if I wish
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I could. I don't know if I saved it somewhere
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: or what I wish I could go back and read
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: that again. If he was specific about it, you know,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: if that video is what happened Lorena, or you know,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: it's just a video and you know they just thought
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: that would be a better video instead of what really happened.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, but yeah, I told
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: one of my buddies that story and he was like, really,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: get out of you. I didn't know it. It's like
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: you could kind of hear it in the song, right,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Like there are a lot of lyrics related to that.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: You can totally tell he's describing someone who's cheating on him, right,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: it makes sense. There you go, mister Brightside. I've got
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit of time. So one signing that caught
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: my attention here, if we dive back into the waters
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: of ball, that would be David and Joku, the former
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Browns tight end. He signed with the Chargers. Now this
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: is not whoa big splash for the Chargers look out here,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: but it's just a small signing and it reminds me
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: of a radio thing. You just popped into my head.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: So we had a consultant one time. There is many
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: many moons ago, a guy named Rick Scott. He's just
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a sports radio veteran and he would give a bunch
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: of advice and nothing else matters than this. He told
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: me one time. He's like, Brian, you make a small
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: adjustment here, you make a small tweak there, you make
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: a little improvement over here, and all of a sudden,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: you got a great radio station. And football teams are
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the same way. It's the same way where this is
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: not some blockbuster deal. This isn't Holy cow. They just
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: traded up in the draft and got the best tight
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: end as far as the prospect whoa look out. It's
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: not like that. David and Joku took a big step
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: back last season. I still think he's got some gas
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: left in the tank. But last season he had the
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: rookie Harold fannin junior and he had a really good season.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: He was the main guy. He was the tight end
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that replaced David and Joku. So I don't think that
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: in Joku is broken and can't do anything anymore. All
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, he upgrades from the quarterbacks they had
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland last season. Listen, Dylan Gabriel, Shaduur Sanders. They
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: were rookies. You can't expect prolific numbers from rookies. So
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: you know, David and Joku had rookie quarterbacks for most
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: of the season. He was essentially replaced by Harold fannin
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: junior the rookie, and so he was phased out. Basically
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: spent nine seasons in Cleveland. I can't believe he'd been
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: there that long. I didn't think in Djoku was in
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Cleveland for nine seasons. I'm like, holy news to me.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: But he signs a one year deal with the Chargers
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: worth up to eight MS. As Aaron Rodgers would say,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I liked that he goes with EMS, and now he's
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be with Aronde Gadston. Here's a pretty good receiver, right,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Arondez Gadston last season forty nine catches, six sixty four
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: in yards, three touchdowns. Pretty good numbers. So the one
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: two combo you get David and Joku. Now Arondez Gadsdon
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: trying us around, Justin Herbert with more talent. I don't
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: know what they're doing at wide receiver. That's the thing.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: You got to upgrade this wide receiving corps man. Lad
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: McConkey is a good receiver. Who else is bringing a
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: lot to the table, Quinton Johnston, eh Trey Harris, Darius Davis.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: They drafted Brendan Thompson out of Mississippi State in the
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: fourth round. No one there that strikes great fear in you.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: There's not like a true one, a outside receiver. You know,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: they don't have that. So yeah, you got to upgrade
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: around Justin Herbert. I know he's a convenient punching bag.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: It's weird with Herbert. So Herbert has to win a
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: playoff game. That's the most common criticism of the guy
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: he has to It's a legitimate criticism, but people take
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: shots on him like he just sucks, and he doesn't.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: He does not. He gets both of his starting offensive
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: tackles back, and you pick up David and Joku, maybe
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: get a little more two tight end sets. He gets.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, the former Dolphins head coach, as an oc.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I'm interested in the Chargers here, very interested. All right,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: we get to the head coach that sounds more like
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: a defense attorney. That's next
